Poilievre Says Government’s Budget Understates Immigration Numbers

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre accused the federal government of concealing its true immigration plans. He alleged that the government intends to grant permanent residency to an additional 200,000 temporary residents by the end of 2027, on top of the stated goal of 380,000 annually. This, he stated, would bring the total to a record 650,000 new permanent residents.
